Last modified
CVE-2026-40426 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 5.8/10 on the CVSS scale. Integer underflow (wrap or wraparound) for the Intel(R) NPU Driver software before version 1.33.0 within Ring 3: User Applications may allow a denial of service. Unprivileged software adversary with an authenticated user combined with a low complexity attack may enable denial of service. EPSS estimates a 0.11% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
Description
Integer underflow (wrap or wraparound) for the Intel(R) NPU Driver software before version 1.33.0 within Ring 3: User Applications may allow a denial of service. Unprivileged software adversary with an authenticated user combined with a low complexity attack may enable denial of service. This result may potentially occur via local access when attack requirements are present without special internal knowledge and requires no user interaction. The potential vulnerability may impact the confidentiality (low), integrity (low) and availability (high) of the vulnerable system, resulting in subsequent system confidentiality (none), integrity (none) and availability (none) impacts.
